A little Blackberry Smoke

I'm pretty sure I saw them on a small stage at Summerfest in Milwaukee around 2011. They were good.

They are the best band out there, hands down. And whiskey Myers too, the current future of great music.

Ol' Smokey Medlocke hisself would be proud of you for picking this one.

I feel blessed that I got to see Blackfoot dozens of times way back when as they lived in NJ for quite a while. One of my absolute favorite bands. The first time saw them was for a $1.00 cover charge! They played so loud hat they offered free cotton to anyone who couldn't take the volume! I had spoken to all of them bunches of times. I recall one night we all got treated to a one handed drum solo by Jackson "Thunderfoot" Spires while he chugged a 6 pack of Heineken and never missed a beat! When they put out their first album, I had to drive 35 miles to the only place that had it then. I walked in and asked the clerk for it & to my shock, Charlie Hargrett comes out from the back room & said,"Holy ****, I just heard somebody ask for our album!" I also was at a club near a college where there was dancing & drinking going on. Toward the end they were playing Highway song and kept jammin faster& faster. The entire bunch on whole dance floor gave up trying to keep up & everyone just stood & stared in awe! Another time, was at a larger club where they were the headliners; When they started playing, a guy next to me said Wow, these guys are awesome, they are so tight & the drummer is an absolute animal! I had to buy all of their albums in 4 different formats; vinyl, 8 track, cassette & finally cds! Between working in loud boiler rooms and with centrifugal chillers, top fuel drag racing & the loud rock music for many years, I have had tintinus to this day; but I don't regret the music exposure at all!

Fantastic stories, thanks for sharing.
Ol' Ricky is still knocking around somewhere (Skynard I think?). Felt kinda bad when he left the rest of the Blackfoot
guys sort of hanging.

One more from Blackfoot's first album, this was usually the last or 3rd encore!
